Acid Rain Production Signs Exclusive Contract with Director Benjamin Brat
Chatsworth, CA April 4, 2006 Acid Rain has signed an exclusive ten (10) picture contract with acclaimed director Benjamin Brat. This is the company’s first contract with a director. “Ben has paid his dues in this business. He is a pervert, and I mean that in a very good way,” says Mitchell Spinelli, owner of Acid Rain Productions. “He brings an edge and sensuality to the table, and I look forward to a long relationship.”
It has been 4 years since Benjamin Brat started in the adult business, but in those short years he has managed to move quickly through the ranks to become one of the top gonzo performers of today. “For me the next step in this process is to move behind the camera as a director and camera man.” Brat started his career in mainstream television as a coordinating producer with numerous documentaries to his name. However, following September 11th, mainstream production went into a slump, and the television producer decided to travel around the world, finally landing in Vancouver, Canada. Seeking work, a friend of Brat’s recommended his name to an American internet porn company, where he was brought aboard as the head director for the video division.
“At this company, I developed and shot some of the earliest reality porn sites. I started performing when I couldn’t find guys who could keep it up.” Upon compliments on his work both in front of and behind the camera, Brat moved to Los Angeles, joined World Modeling, and jump-started his career in adult films.
“I’ve had people who believed in me from the start, including Chris Streams from 3rd Degree, the infamous Skeeter Kerkove, and Mitch Spinelli, the owner of Acid Rain. I’ve been working with Mitchell for the past 2 years and we have developed a very good working relationship.”
Benjamin Brat’s first directed film for Acid Rain, “Filthy Anal POV” starring Brooke Haven and Courtney Cumz, has been a huge success for the company. “We have customers requesting Benjamin’s work, and we have to continue to fulfill their needs,” says Spinelli. Since then, Brat has gone on to direct “She’s got a Cum Fixation,” “Double Teamed and Creamed,” Super Freak Gang Bang (starring Jasmine Byrne, Missy Monroe and Carmella),” and “Camel Toe Obsessions.” He has also completed a shooting a big butt movie called “Butt Junkies”.
“I see myself cutting back from performing and focusing on more directing and doing camera work. I will still perform in my movies and on a limited basis with other directors that I enjoy working with. I think it’s important to stay in the game as a performer because it allows you to stay in the trenches where the action is. In this biz you have to keep your “A” game sharp, which has always been my philosophy. I look forward to working with Mitchell. He grants me the freedom to do what I want. We have worked together for a couple years now, and it has been the best working relationship I have found.”
